Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The work presented is new, interesting and well constructed.

The authors consider the results of changes in gene expression patterns, the response of the worm's immune system to radiation, and an increase in the level of ROS and DNA damage as an opportunity to understand the development of radiodermatitis in humans. Why do the authors so easily transfer data on the metabolism of worms to humans? Are there orthologous genes in this species and is the repair system, radiosensitivity, etc. different?

What do the authors think about the possible bystander effect under these experimental irradiation conditions?
